I love this dress. I just needed the opinion of others. Making sure my taste is good.

It is a lovely dress. No one can tell you what to choose. You know when its right. I used to work in a bridal salon and 9 times out of 10 when I bride first uses the word "love" to describe how she feels in a dress, that ends up the dress she buys. I believe that Maggie only does orders...to most places which doesnt allow you to try the dress...thats risky. If that is that case for you perhaps you could try this out:

This is a similar cut dress at David's Bridal that you could try on to get the idea how the cut will look on you. I STRONGLY recommend trying on any dress you are looking at. Things look very different when they are on YOUR body. You can walk into any David's Bridal location in the county with the dress code you like and try it on.
So again, my best advice is be sure to try before you buy. Even if it is only a SIMILAR dress cut. Dont worry about details so much as cut and fabric. The dress I linked is all satin, without the organza overlay...but david;s also has organza. simply ask to see something in the fabric. again this is important to your comfort.
Hope this helps.

That dress is beautiful! I love the fact that is has a simple design with a touch of glamour. I love the lace up back as well. I also like how it would show a figure by the bunching in the front. I don't know what your plans for your wedding are but that would be a great dress to walk down the isle to.

I actually tried this dress on. Something you should know is that Maggie Sottero dresses are known for their fit. They fit really well especially one like this with the corset back. It will fit perfect on top so it'll cut down on any alteration costs and it will suck you tummy in so it looks nice and flat. The cool thing about the dress is that it won't break the bank either. You should be able to get it for no more than $500 to $600. Depends on your region and how much of a hem you'll need for alterations.

I think it's beautiful. Be careful if you buy it to make sure that it fits well in the top. A lot of strapless dresses are bought too large and it could be a real hassle to make sure you aren't exposing yourself while your dancing at the reception. Another suggestion might be to buy it a little too snug, a lot of brides lose weight before the big day because of stress, this way the dress wouldn't have to be adjusted.

It's gorgeous and not real heavy. I tried it on when I was dress shopping. The great thing about the corset back is that if you lose a bit or gain a bit, you are still in good shape. Just make sure you have someone there on your wedding day to strap you in good and tight.

The front is pretty, but the back spoils the whole look. The bow is droopy and the lace up back gives the appearance that you've out grown the gown. I'd choose something with buttons or zipper. This gown passes more for a formal than a wedding gown.

I think it's very pretty. It looks exactly like the gown my sister bought last weekend at David's Bridal. If you have a location near you, you should check it out. It was ridiculous....The dress was part of the $99 clearance and she had a $50 off any dress coupon, so she got this beautiful dress for $49....How crazy... I can't even buy jeans that cheap!

Beautiful. Maggie Sottero has some of the prettiest dresses. My daughter is getting married next year and has several of hers as possible dresses. This one is elegant, yet simple.

it's beaaaauuutttifull!
structurally enhence the waist, by giving the hour glass effect..
very classy...yet sexy at the back
however make sure of the undesire effect of strapless, which as you know can make us look a little fatty at close to the arm pit, when the breasts are lifted to high...you gotta have the bust for a dress like that.

OMG!! That is the exact same dress i had picked out for myself too, but I ended up going to Vegas and not wearing a traditional dress. But I love it!
